Sharon Werner, MA, LPC, CAADC

What would it feel like to meet yourself with gentleness and acceptance? What would it feel like to truly know you are enough? Consider this idea: self-acceptance, self-compassion, and self-kindness are key! 

My goal is to help you discover the goodness, strength, and wisdom that are already within you so that when you walk away from our sessions, you will have more self-confidence, more self-compassion, and a toolbox of strategies to handle the inevitable challenges of life...and to experience increasing peace and joy.

I am a Certified Self-Compassion Informed Psychotherapist (SCIP). I have completed the Mindful Self-Compassion Core Skills in-person training with Kristen Neff, PhD and Chris Germer, PhD as well as attending additional extended trainings in Mindful Self-Compassion, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, and in-person and web-based trainings in developing wellbeing and resiliency with Rick Hanson, PhD.

I have experience working with adults of all ages seeking help with depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, grief, anger management, substance use, trauma, life transitions, and assertiveness skills.

I want to help you achieve the happiness you deserve, to stop getting down yourself, and to take back you!
